The Centre on Wednesday notified the appointment of Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Prasanna Bhalachandra Varale as a judge of the Supreme Court.

Justice Varale will be the third sitting judge from the Dalit community in the Supreme Court, apart from Justice BR Gavai and Justice CT Ravikumar.

He was likely to be sworn in very soon, sources said.

The Supreme Court Collegium, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, had on Friday recommended his elevation to the top court. The decision was taken unanimously at a meeting of the five-member collegium, which also included Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Aniruddha Bose.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
